1-4 (4 Records)
Understanding changes in mobility and subsistence practices among Jornada Mogollon hunter-gatherer groups remains a substantial research issue. Residents across the Permian Basin largely maintained a hunting-and-gathering cultural adaption throughout prehistoric times, although some segment of the local population practiced cultivation during the Late Formative period. The Southwest Pecos Slopes reflects transitional vegetation community that interfaces between succulent-rich uplands and...
Camping and Hot-Rock Cooking: Hunter-Gatherer Land Use in the Southwest Pecos Slopes, Data Compendium (2018)
This project entailed thematic reconnaissance survey and small-scale excavations of a total of 42 previously recorded archaeological sites. Survey was conducted using the Transect Recording Unit (TRU) method, with 10-by-10-m TRUs. Excavations consisted of bisections of features that exhibited carbonized remains sufficient for macrobotanical identification and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating, in addition to phytolith and starch analyses. The project resulted in examination...

Permian Basin Mitigation Program, Transect Recording Unit Survey and Small-Scale Excavations at 42 Sites Along the Southwest Pecos Slopes, Eddy County, New Mexico
Information relating to the prehistoric occupation of Southwest Pecos Slopes physiographic region remains relatively unknown. This particular region has recently witnessed a pronounced increase in oil- and gas-extraction activities, and the tract of land situated between the Black and Pecos Rivers was only just incorporated into the Permian Basin Programmatic Agreement (PA) study area. In order to improve the management abilities of the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management...
